Jim Harbaugh tells podcast: 'I don't apologize for exploring' NFL; focus is national title

Jim Harbaugh said after the 2021 season, which marked the end of his original seven-year contract coaching the Michigan football team, he wondered if it was time to revisit coaching in the NFL.

Harbaugh, 58, took over at Michigan, his alma mater, following four seasons coaching at San Francisco, where he took the team to the Super Bowl in his third season. He lost to the Baltimore Ravens coached by his older brother, John Harbaugh.

On Thursday, a day after signing a contract extension with Michigan through 2026, Harbaugh spoke on the “In the Trenches” podcast with host Jon Jansen.
